Prt Zest

(Dual mode personal rapid transit « PRT-ZEST»).

Achievements in the field of the automated control systems make real the creation of the automated transport networks which can provide a city with necessary throughput for free movement. Dual Mode PRT Zest – the transport of the megapolis combining qualities of the usual car and automated transport! It is a dual mode transport, it can move both on usual streets, and on special guideways in automatic mode without stops and stoppers.

This system is the potential kind of transport of the future. Original individual vehicle differs little from electric car or hybrid vehicle in outward.

But it can be used in the new way. You can be a user of special transport net. Make application for transportation, get the route-plot, drive to the terminal, go through the preparation and come with conductor rail. And You need nothing more to do. You’ll get to point of destination in time. Then You can leave the system in vehicle or leave it having set up the place and time where it must be waiting for You. Automatic controller drives the vehicle according to the optimal route and plot. It can also park Your vehicle in automatic parking in the system and will return it the place and time you need.

Advanced vehicle control systems allow except jams, raise traffic capacity, lower loss of energy. If You use this system regularly you will have enough energy saved in accumulators to continue Your way out of the systems for some distances.

You move in the closed transport way. Softly, calmly, on pneumatic wheels, by special rail propulsive agents situated above the vehicle. These agents create the necessary propulsive force and they are electro trolley so that energy saves in accumulators. They control the vehicle easier and safety than a wheel. There are two agents. Trajectory can be changed resting upon one of them. This make movement in the crossroads more simple. Main ways of the system pass by overpasses that can be built high above buildings or (if the planning it very difficult) even under the ground in tunnels. Terminals for exits/entrances are situated on the first floors or underground. So the net is multilevel. The difference between levels of the route can account 10 meters. The vehicle has special abilities to move by these ways: it can change the positions of the propulsive agents so it can move angle-wise (angles can be 30-75%) not inclining the cab. It can move foreword and up or down simultaneously.

Getting to the terminal of exit/entrance that is situated in 50 meters above the ground is possible through the transitional area. The length of this area is not more than 80 meters. Such an inclined passage will take 50 square meters of the city surface that is not more than descent to pedestrian underpass.

There are also enough vehicles-taxis in the system. They don’t leave the system, have the minimum size of accumulators. They transport passengers between terminals of exits/entrances. And the citizens are able to use both individual and public transport with single occupancy and high level of comfort.

Automatic control transports are able to move in small period of time, for example 1.5 seconds. In this case the traffic capacity will be 2400 vehicles in hour. With average vehicle occupancy of 2-3 passenger the system can pass through one way up to 6000 passenger during one hour. By the way the area demanded will occupy in average500 square kilometers. It’s less in 10 times than other transports take from the city.

The size of a vehicle is 4000*180*2000, the mass is about 1500 kilos. So it can use the overpasses with low hoisting capacity. The costs for construction of this system is lower than of other transports. These constructions are thought to be covered in order to simplify exploitation and raise reliability of control for electrical equipment.

The owner of the vehicle would not be a hostage of transport situation in the city if there was an automatic systems. He wouldn’t be late. At the same time he wouldn’t be a hostage of an electric vehicle that has no ability to move out of the system. A vehicle always has energy in accumulations and it can easy turn into a hybrid car if it gets in touch with rail propulsive agent by diesel generator.

Tram Zest

Rapid transit « TRAM-ZEST»

Everybody understand a sharpness of an environmental problem of cities, but unfortunately nobode can refuse using his car. With the occurrence of our system it isn’t necessary! TRAM Zest is an automated transport system, which can transport people and cargoes including cars with passengers on the special allocated ways, thereby adjusting movement in a city and considerably improving ecological conditions.

Our transport system is potentially transport of the future. Special platform-automatic jitney transporting passengers..
There are a lot of alternative ideas developed concerning rail transport in the world (PRT controlled by ITS). The introduction of these systems is not an easy thing because of the town planning factors., There is no free surface for building transport arteries in the cities , especially in their centers. This surface is occupied by roads, tramlines, railways, buildings and etc.The only chance for the systems is to place the ways on high overpasses or in tunnels. But in this case another problem will appear: how can we combine new system with the surface where cars and pedestrians move. The solution is the ability of a new transport to move vertically with no inclining of the cab. You move at the same time up or down and forward. Getting to the terminal of exit/entrance that is situated in 50 meters above the ground is possible through the transitional area. The length of this area is not more than 100 meters. Such an inclined passage will take 90 square meters of the city surface ( the descend to the tunnel).

The parameters of the TRAM-ZEST platform (the size is 6000*2000*2000 and mass is 500 kilos and the terms of its movement allows it to move in relatively small tunnels and on overpasses with relatively low carrying capacity. The cost of its building is much lower than of transport construction for cars and trams.

You move in the closed transport ways. When the way is straight the tram moves with common wheels, when there is a descend or slope-with special propulsive agent that are placed on the transport or on the section of the way. Automatic controller controls the transport according to the optimal route and exact schedule. You can arrange that by one call by the Transit Telephone Information System-GPS.

The main ways of the transport system are on the overpasses that can have different height. Along the streets, above the buildings. In the most difficult areas the net will go in tunnels underground. Terminals for exit/entrance are situated close to the ground or under it. The kinds of platforms that can be used are:

* – for passengers with the fixed route,
* – passenger taxi,
* – the platform for transporting cars.
In one word this system can work as a tram, as a taxi and as a car transporter in the areas where they can’t pass because of different reasons. Using transporting of both cars and passengers allows to broaden the market of such equipment, to raise the number of users, to raise the efficiency of the infrastructure. This system combines principals of the PRT and the semi-Dual Mode approach for accredited cars.

The lines TRAM-ZEST can be used as transporters, transport lines for PRT or can form multilevel transport nets. The areas of use of such systems are various: automatic parkings, transporters through local obstacles (rivers, roads) where it is difficult to build a road, transport arteries in the broken grounds and in the city transport system. All that can be arranged with one technical means.

The means of transport controlled by automatic system can move in short periods of time – 2 seconds. It provides the traffic capacity of 1800 platforms during an hour through one transport artery. If the platform has 12-14 place it can transport as much of the passengers as underground railway. But the cost of the last is much more than of the first mentioned while the level of comfort is lower. At the same time the system allows the accredited cars get where they need in a quick and comfortable way.
